Build Status Build status Translation Status

The motivation behind the project is to provide a native desktop app for Matrix that feels more like a mainstream chat app (Riot, Telegram etc) and less like an IRC client.

Join the discussion on Matrix #nheko:matrix.org.

Features

Most of the features you'd expect from a chat application are missing right now but you can of course receive and send messages in the rooms that you are a member of.

Installation

Arch Linux

pacaur -S nheko-git

Windows

You can find a NSIS installer here.

Build Requirements

  • Qt5 (5.7 or greater). Qt 5.7 adds support for color font rendering with Freetype, which is essential to properly support emoji.
  • CMake 3.1 or greater.
  • A compiler that supports C++11.
    • Clang 3.3 (or greater).
    • GCC 4.8 (or greater).
Arch Linux
$ sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-tools cmake gcc fontconfig
Ubuntu 14.04
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt58-trusty
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install qt58base qt58tools cmake
OSX (Xcode 7 or later)
$ brew update
$ brew install qt5

N.B. you will need to pass -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt5 to cmake to point it at your qt5 install (tweaking the path as needed)

Building

cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # Default is Debug.
make -C build

The nheko binary will be located in the build directory.

Contributing

Any kind of contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. You are also encouraged to open feature request issues.

Screens

Here is a screen shot to get a feel for the UI, but things will probably change.
